1 To make spice rub, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well.

2 Place 1 tblsp of the spice rub, onions, carrots and potatoes in a large bowl. Toss to coat.

3 Rub remaining spice rub all over lamb. Place lamb in an oiled, extra-large roasting pan.

4 Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for 30 minutes. Remove pan from oven. Place vegetables around lamb. Turn to coat in cooking juices. Return pan to oven.

5 Cook for a further 1 hour for medium doneness, or until lamb is cooked to your liking. Remove from oven. Transfer lamb to a serving plate. Rest, loosely covered with foil, for 15 minutes.

6 Return vegetables to same oven. Cook for a further 15 minutes, or until golden and tender.

7 Serve sliced lamb with roasted vegetables, steamed peas and gravy.

TIP

Lamb can be rubbed with spice mix up to several hours ahead. Keep covered in the fridge. Don’t have an extra large roasting pan? Try using two pans. Prefer lamb well done? Allow up to two hours of cooking time.
